burt's bees

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:58:58 GMT

I really can't say enough about Burt's Bees. I use most of their products. Let’s chat about the Rosewater & Glycerin Toner for sensitive and mature skin. It's light and fresh and smells delightful! Rosewater and glycerin toner is traditional and has been used for centuries. It gently purifies and tones aging and delicate skin. Not only used as a toner, this product can be blotted onto your temples and forehead anytime for a cool, fresh, instant relief from hot, humid, polluted, stuffy and other stressful conditions. This toner sounds good enough to even drink! Water, vegetable glycerin and cornflower extract — yum! Although BB toners are not edible, they are 100% natural. I keep mine in a small spray bottle in my handbag for a quick refresher anytime!

New Oil of Olay Pro X - Intensive Wrinkle Protocol

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:39:57 GMT

Now that you are 30+ it's about time to feed that aging skin. I remember my grandmother rubbing that soft pink, highly fragrant OLAY night cream on her face when I was a little girl. Although that smell brings fond memories of her, it was as bad as bad can be. She was also Greek and rubbed olive oil all over her body to sun tan, which I thought was a brilliant idea, but I'm not going to run out and do that either. We love our grannies, but today’s woman knows that isn't safe, although it is as natural as it gets. Well, after trying OLAY Professional products, I can say it’s out with the old and in with the new! However, there is some good news and some bad news. The unfortunate side is some of these products do contain Propylparaben. Most of your beauty products have them. It’s a carcinogen that is still commonly used in a wealth of beauty products that relates to breast cancer. It’s the price we pay for younger and beautiful skin ladies.

The good news is vitamin B3, retinol and other key ingredients make up the recipe for younger-looking skin. I have to admit that from day two of using these products, I had a noticeable change in my skin and the appearance of my fine lines. I love the bright red and lucite packaging, absolutely a step up from the old stuff. Oil Of Olay suggests that after 28 days you will see noticeable results and reduction in wrinkles. Yeah right, right? I am here to tell you it's true! The texture of my skin has changed and is firmer, softer and hydrated. The lines around my eyes did not diminish, but they are notably decreased. Let’s be honest here. Father time comes knocking and unless you are getting Botox or going under the knife, there are very few products that are affordable to the average woman that actually make a noticeable difference in lines. If you are looking for a non-irritating, line-reducing everyday skin regimen and don't want to pay the price, OLAY PRO X is for you, although it's not cheap. The Age Repair lotion SPF 30 is emoilent and shields your skin from harmful UVA and UVB exposure during the day. Pro-X Deep Wrinkle Treatment is designed and professionally tested for the deepest wrinkles. It penetrates deep into your skin's surface, hydrating to combat the appearance of wrinkles and can be used day and night. Pro-X Wrinkle Smoothing Cream is designed and professionally tested to smooth uneven textures with moisture, combating the look of fine lines and wrinkles. These three products come together in a beautiful package for you to try, with full-size products sold separately.

Meaningful Beauty made me ugly!

Sat, 07 Mar 2009 08:00:00 GMT

I was very excited Cindy Crawford came out with this line and also very anxious to try it out. I am not a fan of anything that contains parabens or propylene, but I decided to give it a go anyway. After all, it has melon extract! How Food Meets Beauty! I love Cindy and now that she has become an industry in her own right, I was praying her products would have the answer to my aging skin. She has been in the beauty business forever! “Beautiful skin shouldn’t have to cost a fortune,” she says, “and every woman should feel that she is the best she can be, every day.”

Well, I am sad to say, Cindy and Dr. Sebagh, that these products are, unfortunately, not for everyone. To tell you the truth, I am horrified! So, let's keep the melon where it belongs —in your mouth!

To begin, I used the Meaningful Beauty Cleanse. It's supposed to be a non-irritating formula that won't strip your skin of essential oils. Then I moved on to Maintenance 1 Day Cream, along with the revitalizing Eye Cream. With in 15 minutes I could feel the softening of my skin. I was thrilled! Then all of a sudden I had an itching sensation in different areas of my face and neck. It wasn't too bad, but I knew something wasn't right. I continued in the evening with Maintenance 2 Night Fluide, the FREE with purchase Décolleté Neck Cream and Glowing Serum. At 3:00 a.m. I woke up with welts all over my face and neck, and itching like crazy! It continued to do this for two days until my face started peeling. My face was bright red and burned, my skin was sore and hurt when touched. In fact, it took a layer of my skin off. I have had small allergic reactions to beauty products here and there, but nothing like this! Use these products at your own risk.
